Imagine the next EliteXC event on CBS, and Dana rolls out a better card the same time and day to compete without even breaking a sweat.

ESPN would be out because of the non-compete clause UFC has with Spike. UFC can only expand to either a pay TV station (HBO / Showtime) or a network station. Pramit / Sven - thanks.. appreciate it..

In addition, it's always good to be precise about where information is taken, that isn't only true when composing a academic thesis.

I didn't realize until yesterday that all your quotes come from direct conversations with these people. But, now that I know the truth, I'll be looking to link to your stuff more. If there's any way for you to clarify in your entries that you talked to these people, it might alleviate the confusion. Great stuff! Gary,
